I am not shaming you for slipping, but what an awful choice.
I hate peeps.
Worst easter candy ever.
Chocolate covered marshmallow eggs, that's where it's at. [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]

I completely understand I'm 7 months out I'm down a little over 100lbs I started at 276 and I'm now 168. But when I look in the mirror I still see that almost 300lb women. Hopefully it will get better for us

Thank you Lord for blessing me with a successful year of weight loss! I am 4LBS away from my goal but it still feels like victory for me being that I shed a whooping 144.3LBS!
 

That is one HECK of a NSV!!! (nonscale victory) These are some of the things that keep us goin g for sure!! I can personally say that wouldn't work for me because my hubby has always way outweighed me. But he had his Sleeve surgery and is losing great now! When we got married (I was 17 and he was 23) I weighed 135#'s and he weighed 350. He made me feel so tiny. LOL I did get scared at my highest weight. I got as high as 285#'s. I thought you better do something or you will catch up to him. LOL Something like so many others I fought my weight all of my adult life. Thankfully I got my WLS July 2, 2013. I have maintained my 124# loss for 3 years now. I can't wait for him to get his weight off so we can begin to live life again. Way to go on your weight loss!! KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!

Be proud of it and wear it as a badge of courage and commitment!

You have done so great!!!! I had surgery sept 14 I started at 276 today I was 193. But I had a 2 week stall about a month ago. I realized I was grazing. Every time my hubby would eat I would too. I put a stop to it. I went back to eating 3 meals and 2 snacks! Girl we can do it!!!!

Doesn't sound like a very nice person from the texts. None of my friends have ever talked to me like that. They don't read like "I'm worried or concerned for you". Sorry you aren't getting support there. I'm glad your husband is supporting you.

A nurse friend of mine told me that even chewing gum causes the digestive fluids in your stomach to digest the food that is in there. Then you get hungry faster. It made sense to me. I rarely ever chew gum. Just sayin...

This topic has come up before and caused quite a uproar. So, I'm not going to be dramatic about it. It truly isn't good for you to do this. By chewing you're activating your digestive system. It's sending signals to your brain that food is coming. And when it doesn't come, well....now you're hungry and you've got to eat. Not to mention, what if you accidentally swallow the food? Seek out something new to eat that's allowed for your stage. I'm over a month out and trying new things everyday to avoid boredom.

Ok, give it a good cry! Then take yourself down to the salon and get a new cut that will help. A wig is always an option too. At least you know it should come back.

I mixed a bit of taco seasoning in chicken broth. It still sucked but it was a little bit of variety.

I'm only 5'4" so 108 is my cutoff for underweight. At 116 I am above that and all muscle!!!

You don't have to be rude I wasn't rude

No, they don't. The stretchy part, or fundus is removed during surgery. My surgeon told me they don't. Also, check out Dr Matthew Weiners videos about it.
You're new to surgery. You'll learn. But don't act like you know everything because you don't.

When a regular sized bath towel wraps around you WITHOUT any gaps! That has to be the best feeling. I realized this last night when I got out of the shower.
I even wrapped it past the gap about 7 or 8 inches. HOW FREAKING AMAZING!!!

I love Ocean Spray diet cranberry. It's 10 calories a glass. I put half a glass and then fill it up with Water and ice. It's very refreshing. They have other flavours which I also drink.

You don't know you fat until you have to lift ya stomach up to get in it all the way. Sitting ya stomach on her ass or holding ya stomach up with one arm trying to hold her hip with the other. this is true fat man problems.

My doc and nutritionist both advised against the Patches bc the Vitamins are not absorbed adequately.

I stopped at the library after work this afternoon to work on a paper that is due for a class I am taking. (working on my masters) An extremely attractive women in maybe her late 40's asked me if I would like to get a cup of coffee. I graciously declined and she handed me her number. Said she her company just transferred her to Dallas and she is way past the bar scene. Again, I declined (married for 17 years) but wow!!!! it did feel awesome to be noticed again.

I can now get mine off to be cleaned/inspected without ANY lotion, soap, etc.

Beans here get eaten, no matter what people think of the carbs. Rather than think of Protein in it, the Fiber you need for colon health and cancer prevention lines of thought, most are still too attached to it is only for carbs. Yet they'll eat fries, want to drink beer, etc.
